Yoga Happens Every Day—Temper Tantrums And All

Unconditional Present

Do you think that what is out there
is so much better than what you have right here?
Is the future you so much more
(fill in the blank: successful, wealthy, intelligent, recognized)
than the you you are right now?
Think again.
Thoughts like “more out there,”
“better later”
“grass is greener”
“someday happier”
will keep you in a place
of perpetual distaste
for whatever it is
that is staring you in the face
now
in this moment.
What kind of reflection
will you see as you look
into the great clear mirror of this moment?
Can you greet this present
with unconditional acceptance?
Settle into yourself,
love what is.
Here now.
No time to lose.
